The Barceloneta Waterfront Promenade is the first phase of the continuous system of promenades along the Barceloneta seafront, developed in five phases from the Olympic Port to the Hotel Vela, with a length of 2,200 m.

The first phase covers 550 m between Plaza del Mar and Pepe Rubianes street, integrated in the waterfront façade of the Barceloneta neighbourhood, running alongside the neighbourhood streets with a façade of oblique volumes of diverse triangular spaces, creating a promenade that is the sum of the squares integrated in a continuous space.

Therefore, the Waterfront Promenade has the dual purpose of a promenade integrated in the neighbourhood, and that of a continuous promenade that integrates the neighbourhood with the beach as a public space, the sea, the horizon, the sky... The tree system is an irregular plantation of various palms, ombus, mulberry trees, tamarinds. The beach is lit by tall columns that lean like large fishing rods that illuminate the beach to integrate it as a public space, creating a subtle and diaphanous order.

The result is that the Paseo Marítimo and Barceloneta beach form a public space and landscape that give the city its identity and are one of its iconic images.
